“Hanson weaves together history, philosophy, and contemporary headlines to diagnose our current woes and to remind them that the cure lies in what is best in them and in America.”
Senator Tom Cotton

The bestselling historian explains the decline and fall of the once cherished idea of American citizenship.
“The Dying Citizen is essential reading for any American who cares about the fate of our nation.” ―Mark R. Levin
Human history is full of the stories of peasants, subjects, and tribes. Yet the concept of the “citizen” is historically rare—and was among America’s most valued ideals for over two centuries. But without shock treatment, warns Victor Davis Hanson, American citizenship may soon vanish.
In The Dying Citizen, Hanson outlines the forces that led to this crisis. The evisceration of the middle class has made many Americans dependent on the federal government. Open borders have undermined allegiance to a particular place. Identity politics have eradicated our collective sense of self. And a top-heavy state has endangered personal liberty.
The Dying Citizen is a clarion call to rebuild our collective national identity.
